Mrs. FRANCES HoDGsoN BURNETT the au-
thor, must know from personal experience how
it feels to be caricatured in the newspapers, for

afford to have any percentage taken off ones
own looks the consequences are that ones secret
hopes ara blasted. and ones most timid and
modest confidence IN oneself forever a ruin"

tant factor in the labor problem. Great difficulty
has been experienced lately in the upper Ohio

the natural-gas district, enabling the manufact-
urers to turn out iron at nominal cost, and
with much greater rapidity than by the old
method.
